Description

Hello! I'm Sumire. Please call me Suu for short. I'm originally from Japan but I'm currently studying at the university in Washington state as an international student. My family is six people, my father, mother, three younger sisters and me.

I'm a positive and outgoing person who loves traveling and meeting people from different countries. I enjoy learning about different cultures and connecting with new friends. I love exercising and doing outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing, and running. I also enjoy listening to American pop music and going to the beach. I have three younger sisters, so I'm used to taking care of kids, and I love playing with them.

I've traveled to the U.S., Thailand, Hong Kong, Vietnam, India, and Taiwan. I've also spent time in Australia, New Zealand, and the Philippines for study abroad or workaway programs.

I love learning about new cultures, and I’d love to have the opportunity to live with new people. While I'm in university especially during school break, I want to see more of the world, broaden my horizons, and try new things.
